Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine in einer Einbauöffnung befestigbare Lampenfassung für Kraftfahrzeuge mit einem im wesentlichen topfförmigen Gehäuse, in dem eine Lampenhalterung sowie Erdungs- und Sockel­kontakt angeordnet sind und das Anschlußteile für elektrische Anschlußmittel aufweist, wobei das Ge­häuse außenseitig Verbindungsmittel zur Befestigung des Gehäuses in der stutzenförmigen Einbauöffnung und ein Dichtmittel aufweist, das zwischen einem als Anschlag gegen die Stutzenmündung anlegbaren Flansch des Gehäuses und einer Rippe des Gehäuses ge­haltert ist und sich radial zwischen Stutzenwandung und Gehäusewandung abstützt.The invention relates to a lamp socket for motor vehicles which can be fastened in an installation opening and has an essentially pot-shaped housing in which a lamp holder and grounding and base contact are arranged and which has connection parts for electrical connection means, the housing on the outside connecting means for fastening the housing in the neck-shaped installation opening and has a sealant which is held between a flange of the housing which can be placed as a stop against the nozzle opening and a rib of the housing and which is supported radially between the nozzle wall and the housing wall.

Ähnliche Lampenfassungen sind aus dem DE-GM 88 06 51 515 bekannt.Similar lamp holders are known from DE-GM 88 06 51 515.

Bei solchen Lampenfassungen besteht der Bedarf, im Einbauzustand, wenn also die Lampenfassung in der entsprechenden Einbauöffnung der Kfz.-Wandung oder einer Kfz.-Leuchte befestigt ist, eine Belüftung und Kondenswasserabführung aus der Leuchte oder der­gleichen unter Beibehalt eines Spritzwasserschutzes zu erreichen, ohne daß es hierzu einer Veränderung der Einbauöffnung bzw. der Leuchtenteile bedarf.With such lamp holders, there is a need in the installed state, i.e. if the lamp holder is fastened in the corresponding installation opening of the motor vehicle wall or a motor vehicle lamp, ventilation and condensate drainage from the lamp or the like can be achieved while maintaining splash protection, without this changing the installation opening or the lighting parts required.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung vor, daß die Mündung des Gehäuses über einen gehäuseeigenen Ventilationskanal mit einem bodenseitig des Gehäuses angeordneten gehäuseeigenen Ringkanal verbunden ist, der gehäuseeigene Belüftungs- und Wasserablauföffnungen aufweist, die in Freiräume zwischen Flansch und Dicht­mittel münden.To achieve this object, the invention proposes that the mouth of the housing is connected via an in-house ventilation channel to an in-house ring channel arranged at the bottom of the housing, which has in-house ventilation and water drainage openings which open into spaces between the flange and the sealant.

Gemäß der Erfindung sind im Gehäuse der Lampenfassung selbst mindestens ein Ventilationskanal sowie Belüf­tungs- und Wasserablauföffnungen vorgesehen, die über einen Ringkanal miteinander in Verbindung stehen.According to the invention, at least one ventilation duct and ventilation and water drain openings are provided in the housing of the lamp holder itself, which are connected to one another via an annular duct.

Somit ist auf engstem Raum und bei ansonsten spritz­wassergeschützter Ausführung eine Belüftung des von der Lampenfassung abgeschlossenen Leuchtenteiles und eine Abführung von Kondenswasser möglich.This allows ventilation of the luminaire part sealed off from the lamp holder and removal of condensed water in a confined space and in an otherwise splash-proof version.

Diese Ausbildung ist auch nachträglich ohne Veränderung von Gehäuseteilen oder dergleichen vorzusehen, indem lediglich die vorhandene Lampenfassung gegen die er­findungsgemäß ausgebildete Lampenfassung ausgetauscht wird.This design is also to be provided retrospectively without changing housing parts or the like, in that only the existing lamp holder is replaced by the lamp holder designed according to the invention.

Der Spritzwasserschutz wird insbesondere dadurch er­reicht, daß zwar der Ventilationskanal das Leuchten­innere einer mit der Lampenfassung ausgerüsteten Leuchte mit dem Ringkanal verbindet, dieser Ringkanal aber an der Einmündungsstelle des Ventilationskanales keine axial ge­richtete Durchgangsöffnung durch den Flansch des Gehäuses aufweist, sondern der Ringkanal im wesentlichen radial gerichtete Belüftungs- und Wasserablauföffnungen an anderer Stelle als der Ventilationskanal einmündend aufweist, welche Ablauföffnungen in nach außen nicht ab­gedichtete Freiräume münden, die zwischen dem Flansch und dem Dichtmittel, beispielsweise einem O-Ring, aus­münden.Splash protection is achieved in particular by the fact that the ventilation channel connects the interior of a lamp equipped with the lamp socket to the ring channel, but this ring channel does not have an axially directed passage opening through the flange of the housing at the junction of the ventilation channel, but rather the ring channel is essentially radially directed Has ventilation and water drainage openings at a point other than the ventilation duct, which drain openings open into open spaces which are not sealed off from the outside and which open out between the flange and the sealant, for example an O-ring.

Bevorzugt ist dazu vorgesehen, daß das Gehäuse doppel­wandig ausgebildete Seitenwandungen aufweist und der bzw. die Ventilationskanäle zwischen den Wandungen ausgebildet ist.It is preferably provided that the housing has double-walled side walls and the ventilation channel or channels is formed between the walls.

Auf diese Weise kann der Ventilationskanal von der im Installationszustand innenliegenden Gehäusemündung zwischen den Seitenwandungen bis zum Ringkanal geführt werden, welcher Ringkanal unmittelbar dem Flansch des Gehäuses benachbart ist.In this way, the ventilation duct can be guided from the housing mouth lying inside in the installation state between the side walls to the ring duct, which ring duct is directly adjacent to the flange of the housing.

Bevorzugt und in an sich bekannter Weise ist vorgesehen, daß das Gehäuse kreisrunden Querschnitt aufweist.It is preferred and in a manner known per se that the housing has a circular cross section.

Desweiteren ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, daß die innenlie­gende Wandung Rastaufnahmen für den Lampensockel und die außenliegende außenseitig Rastmittel für den Einbau­stutzen aufweist.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the inner wall has latching receptacles for the lamp base and the outer outside latching means for the mounting socket.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Weiterbildung wird darin gesehen, daß bei einer Einbaulage, in welcher die Mittellängsachse des Gehäuses horizontal gerichtet verläuft, der Ventilationskanal an der relativ obersten Stelle des Ringkanales einmündend als axial gerad­linig verlaufender Kanal ausgebildet ist, an der relativ untersten Stelle des Ringkanales die Wasserablauf­öffung ausgebildet ist und die Belüftungsöffnungen beidseits neben der Wasserablauföffnung insbesondere um ca. 45° zu dieser versetzt angeordnet sind.A particularly preferred development is seen in the fact that, in an installation position in which the central longitudinal axis of the housing extends horizontally, the ventilation channel at the relatively uppermost point of the ring channel is formed as an axially rectilinear channel, and the water drain opening at the relatively lowest point of the ring channel is formed and the ventilation openings are arranged on both sides next to the water drain opening, in particular offset by approximately 45 ° to the latter.

Schließlich ist noch bevorzugt, daß die Wasserablauf- und Belüftungsöffnungen durch schmale radiale Kanäle gebildet sind, die im Flansch des Gehäuses von der Wandung ausgehend nach außen offen münden.Finally, it is still preferred that the water drainage and ventilation openings are formed by narrow radial channels which open outward from the wall in the flange of the housing.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und im folgenden näher beschrie­ben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and described in more detail below.

Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Lampenfassung im Einbau­zustand;
  • Fig. 2 desgleichen im Schnitt II-II der Fig. 1 gesehen.
It shows:
  • 1 shows a lamp holder according to the invention in the installed state;
  • Fig. 2 also seen in section II-II of FIG. 1.

In eine stutzenförmige Einbauöffnung 1 einer Kfz.-­Leuchte 2 ist eine Lampenfassung 3 eingesetzt, die ein im wesentlichen topfförmiges Gehäuse 4 aufweist, in dem die Anschlußkontakte 5 gehaltert sind.In a socket-shaped installation opening 1 of a motor vehicle lamp 2, a lamp holder 3 is inserted, which has an essentially pot-shaped housing 4, in which the connection contacts 5 are held.

Die Anschlußkontakte sind über von der außenliegen­den Seite des Gehäuses 3 zugängliche Verbindungs­mittel 6 an entsprechende elektrische Leitungen an­schließbar.The connection contacts can be connected to corresponding electrical lines via connecting means 6 accessible from the outer side of the housing 3.

Radial außenseitig weist das topfförmige Gehäuse 4 Verbindungsmittel 7 zur Befestigung des Gehäuses 4 in der stutzenförmigen Einbauöffnung 1 auf, welche Ver­bindungsmittel mit stutzenseitigen Verbindungsmitteln 8 bajonettverschlußartig zusammenwirken können.Radially on the outside, the pot-shaped housing 4 has connecting means 7 for fastening the housing 4 in the nozzle-shaped installation opening 1, which connecting means can interact with the connector-side connecting means 8 in the manner of a bayonet lock.

Zusätzlich ist ein Dichtmittel in Form eines O-Ringes 9 vorgesehen, welcher zwischen einem als Anschlag gegen die Stutzenmündung anlegbaren Flansch 10 und einer Rippe 11 des Gehäuses 3 axial unverschieblich gehal­tert ist und sich radial zwischen der Stutzenwandung und der Gehäusewandung abstützt.In addition, a sealant in the form of an O-ring 9 is provided, which is held axially immovably between a flange 10 which can be placed as a stop against the nozzle opening and a rib 11 of the housing 3 and which is supported radially between the nozzle wall and the housing wall.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Mündung des Gehäuses 4 (in der Zeichnungsfigur 1 liegt die Mündung links) über einen gehäuseeigenen Ventilationskanal 12 mit einem boden­seitig des Gehäuses angeordneten gehäuseeigenen Ring­kanal 13 in Verbindung, der wiederum gehäuseeigene Belüftungsöffnungen 14 und Belüftungs- und Wasserab­lauföffnungen 15 aufweist, die in Freiräume zwischen dem Flansch 10 und dem Dichtmittel 9 münden, wie dies insbesondere aus Fig. 1 unten ersichtlich ist.According to the invention, the mouth of the housing 4 (in the drawing figure 1 the mouth is on the left) is connected via a ventilation channel 12 in the housing to a ring channel 13 in the housing which is arranged on the bottom of the housing and which in turn has ventilation openings 14 and ventilation and water drain openings 15 which are in free spaces open between the flange 10 and the sealant 9, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 1 below.

Das Gehäuse 3 ist doppelwandig ausgebildet, so daß zwischen dessen Seitenwandungen 16, 17 ein Freiraum gebildet ist, welcher Freiraum in der Einbaulage oben den Ventilationskanal 12 bildet.The housing 3 is double-walled, so that a free space is formed between its side walls 16, 17, which free space forms the ventilation duct 12 in the installed position at the top.

Die relativ innenliegende Wandung 17 umfaßt dabei Rast­aufnahmen für den Lampensockel der einzusetzenden Lampe, während die außenliegende Wandung 16 die Rastmittel 7 zur Verbindung der Lampenfassung mit dem Einbaustutzen aufweist. Bei der Einbaulage, die in der Zeichnung dar­gestellt ist, in welcher die Mittellängsachse des Ge­häuses 4 horizontal gerichtet verläuft, ist der Ventila­tionskanal 12 oben an der relativ obersten Stelle des Ringkanales 13 einmündend als geradlinig axial verlau­fender Kanal ausgebildet.The relatively inner wall 17 in this case includes snap-in receptacles for the lamp base of the lamp to be used, while the outer wall 16 has the snap-in means 7 for connecting the lamp holder to the mounting socket. In the installation position, which is shown in the drawing, in which the central longitudinal axis of the housing 4 extends horizontally, the ventilation duct 12 is formed at the top at the relatively uppermost point of the ring duct 13 as a linear axially extending duct.

An der relativ untersten Stelle des Ringkanals 13 ist die Wasserablauföffnung 15 vorgesehen, die gleichzeitig auch der Belüftung dient.
Zusätzlich sind zwei Belüftungsöffnungen 14 radial neben der Wasserablauföffnung 15 um etwa 45° versetzt zu dieser angeordnet.At the relatively lowest point of the ring channel 13, the water drain opening 15 is provided, which also serves for ventilation.
In addition, two ventilation openings 14 are arranged radially next to the water drain opening 15 offset by approximately 45 ° to the latter.

Die Wasserablauf- und Belüftungsöffnungen 14, 15 sind durch schmale radial verlaufende Kanäle gebildet, die aus dem Material des Flansches 10 ausgeformt und von der Wandung 17 bzw. 16 ausgehend nach radial außen offen münden.
Die Anordnung ist dabei so getroffen, daß in dem Bereich der Belüftungs- und Wasserablaufkanäle 14, 15 der O-Ring 9 dieser Kanäle nicht abdichten kann, so daß ein freier Luftzutritt und auch ein freier Wasserablauf an dieser Stelle möglich ist.The water drainage and ventilation openings 14, 15 are formed by narrow radially extending channels, which are formed from the material of the flange 10 and open from the wall 17 and 16 open radially outwards.
The arrangement is such that in the area of the ventilation and water drainage channels 14, 15 the O-ring 9 of these channels cannot seal, so that free air access and free water drainage are possible at this point.

Wasser und Luft kann durch den zwischen dem Flansch 10 und dem Stutzen des Leuchtengehäuses gebildeten Spalt radial austreten.
Ein Spritzwasserzutritt zum Inneren der Leuchte ist auf diesem Wege aber unterbunden.Water and air can escape radially through the gap formed between the flange 10 and the socket of the lamp housing.
A splash water access to the inside of the lamp is prevented in this way.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt, sondern im Rahmen der Offenbarung vielfach variabel.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments, but is often variable within the scope of the disclosure.
